Monosaccharide formula
Glucose (C6 H12 O6)
Disaccharide formula
2 C6 H12 O6 —> C12 H22 O11 + H2O
Polysaccharide
Long chain of simple sugars
Uses for carbohydrates
Uses energy
Lipids
Pentose=sugar, phosphate group, and nitrogen bases
Triglycerides shape
E
Saturated fats
Single bonds between all carbon atoms
Unsaturated fats
Double bonds between some carbon atoms
Smallest part of proteins
Amino acids
Steroids
4 interlocking carbon rings
3 parts of amino acids
Triglycerides, Phospholipids, and Steroids
Nitrogen bases of DNA and RNA
Adenine = both
Thymine = DNA
Cytosine = both
Guanine = both
Uracil = RNA
Sugars in RNA and DNA
RNA = ribose, DNA = deoxyribose
Nitrogen base pairing
A pairs T, C pairs G, A pairs U
Group starch is in
Polysaccharide
What is not soluble in water?
Lipids
State of matter fats are found
Saturated fats are found in solid matter. Unsaturated fats are found in liquid matter.
Ratio of hydrogen to oxygen in carbohydrates
2:1 ratio
Hydrocarbons
Only has carbon and hydrogen
Difference in shapes between DNA and RNA
DNA has double helix, 2 strands and RNA has single strand
Create an amino acid chain
Building blocks of protein
